Just Diagnosed with an MPN? Take a Deep Breath. Finding out you have a rare chronic blood cancer like #PolycythemiaVera (PV), #EssentialThrombocythemia (ET), or #Myelofibrosis (MF) is a massive shock. In a single afternoon, your vocabulary is forced to include complex medical terms, and it is completely normal to feel overwhelmed or isolated. Before you go down the rabbit hole of Google, hold onto these vital facts: ⚖️ You can live a full, active life: With modern medical management, targeted therapies, and routine care, many MPN patients have a normal or near-normal lifespan. 🛠️ This is a manageable journey: Think of it as a long-term project. Your clinical team isn't treating a sudden crisis; they are working with you to balance cell production and protect your blood flow. 🚫 You didn't cause this: MPNs are caused by acquired genetic changes (like JAK2, CALR, or MPL) that happen spontaneously over a lifetime. Your Action Plan for the first few weeks: 1.Stop General Googling: Outdated stats or out-of-context articles on forum posts cause unnecessary stress. Stick to verified, patient-led spaces like MPN Voice. 2.Write Down Your Questions: Track your symptoms, energy patterns, and queries so you don't have to memorize everything for your next haematology appointment. The Power of Connection: The most powerful medicine is talking to someone who truly gets it. Our Buddy Programme matches you one-on-one with a volunteer patient who has the exact same diagnosis and has lived well with it for years. 🔗 Visit the MPN Voice website to learn more - mpnvoice.org.uk/about-mpns 👇 If you've been living with an MPN, what is the ONE piece of advice you wish you’d been told in your first week?

Meet the Medical Director: Professor Claire Harrison Professor Claire Harrison is one of the world’s leading experts in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) and the driving force behind MPN Voice. A graduate of Oxford University Medical School, Claire became a consultant at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital in 2001, where she now serves as Deputy Chief Medical Officer. Her clinical focus is MPNs, and her work has shaped the global landscape of treatment and research. Claire’s leadership in clinical trials and translational research has contributed to the approval of several groundbreaking therapies, including ruxolitinib, fedratinib, momelotinib, and pacritinib. Over the past decade, she has published more than 300 academic papers, earning national and international recognition for her contribution to the field. But Claire’s impact extends far beyond the clinic. She founded MPN Voice (MPD Support as it was) alongside a group of volunteer patients who shared her vision to ensure that everyone living with an MPN has access to accurate information, compassionate support, and a strong community. Outside of her professional achievements, Claire is a proud mum to Henry and Edward, and she’s passionate about food, family walks, and time spent outdoors. Her warmth and energy reflect the same values that drive MPN Voice connection, care, and community. Her work continues to inspire both patients and professionals, reminding us that progress in medicine is most powerful when it’s rooted in partnership.

Meet the Leadership Team: Nona & Jon (And yes, they are patients, too.) When you’re diagnosed with a rare blood cancer, it can feel like you’re the only person on earth who understands. That’s why MPN Voice started - to make sure no patient ever feels that isolation again. What makes MPN Voice unique is that it isn’t run by an impersonal organisation. It’s led by patients who live the same reality, face the same challenges, and share the same determination to make life with an MPN manageable and meaningful. Nona’s Story Diagnosed with essential thrombocythaemia (ET) in 1991, which later transformed into polycythaemia vera (PV) in 2004, Nona faced a time when information about these rare blood disorders (now known as myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs)) was scarce. That gap sparked her lifelong commitment to learn, connect, and empower others. Soon after Professor Claire Harrison and the team at St Thomas’s Hospital founded "MPD Support", Nona joined and became deeply involved. Today, as Co‑Chair of MPN Voice, she helps shape the charity’s work by delivering Patient Forums across the UK and Ireland, creating her hugely popular vlogs and providing global engagement as a respected patient expert. Outside her advocacy, Nona enjoys time with her husband, two dogs, and eight grandchildren often finding peace on long countryside walks. Jon’s Story Diagnosed with ET in 1998, Jon has become a passionate advocate for patients, ensuring that our collective voice is heard on the international research stage. His work champions patient representation in shaping the future of MPN care and understanding. When he’s not advocating, Jon can be found tinkering in his garage or spending time with his grandchildren. Their stories remind us that an MPN doesn’t define who you are as you can lead, create, and stay present for the people and passions that matter most. Together, Nona and Jon embody what MPN Voice stands for: knowledge, connection, and hope. They prove that leadership and lived experience can go hand in hand and that patients can drive change for patients. #BloodCancerAwareness #PolycythaemiaVera #EssentialThrombocythaemia #Myelofibrosis

Meet One of Our Latest MPN Voice Heros: Chris! We are absolutely thrilled to spotlight Chris, who has just kicked off an inspiring fundraising challenge for MPN Voice. Last year, Chris was diagnosed with Polycythaemia Vera (PV), a rare blood cancer. Dealing with a diagnosis like this is incredibly daunting, but Chris is turning his journey into a mission to help others. The Challenge: Reaching New Heights One of the most debilitating symptoms of MPNs is profound fatigue. Understanding his limits but fueled by determination, Chris has set himself a "mountainous" goal: The Mission: To climb the equivalent height of Ben Nevis (1,345 metres) on his mountain bike. The Method: Tackling the elevation over a series of weekends, balancing his recovery with his passion for cycling. The Why: To give back to the community and the MPN team at Nottingham City Hospital who supported him during his toughest moments. "I know that this might not seem like much, but it’s the current equivalent of a marathon for me." - Chris Why Your Support Matters MPN Voice is a small, volunteer-led charity. Every penny raised goes directly toward providing vital information and support to those living with Myeloproliferative Neoplasms. In the world of rare diseases, community support isn't just helpful, it's a lifeline. 📣 How You Can Help Let's show Chris the power of the MPN community! Whether it’s the price of a coffee or just a share to spread the word, every bit of momentum helps him get up that "mountain." 👉 justgiving.com/page/chris-mp… Good luck, Chris! We are all behind you one pedal stroke at a time! 🏆 #MPNVoice #PolycythaemiaVera #FundraisingHero #BloodCancerAwareness #MountainBikeChallenge #BenNevisClimb
